Maximize Career Growth with Career Mentorship
The right mentorship can make all the difference when looking to progress in your career. Whether you’re looking to up-level in your current role, transition into a new role or completely switch industries, the right mentor can help guide you through these moments. There’s a reason why 84% of Fortune 500 companies have mentoring programs and 97% of individuals with a mentor feel that it’s helped propel their careers. Yet, only 37% of professionals have a mentor (Source).
Similar to not getting a resume review or a mock interview from someone in the role you’re interested in, mentorship from someone not in the role you’re interested in, can ultimately be…meritless and a waste of time.
That’s why at Refermarket we allow you to get connected to employees who’ve been in the same position as you. This gives you the best chance of your mentorship session being useful for you.
